Id say that it was a standard C2-Series WRX Saloon. Thats the engine code for a WRX, as is the applied model number. 260bPS / 257BHP and itll run happily on Tesco 99RON / V-Power.

Is your vin plate this :
model code : GC8C48D
trim code: 65
engine code: EJ20G DW5HE
gearbox: TY752VB4AA
Then its a WRX V-Limited, your engine code matches the early WRX STi Version 2 same as mine.
I can confirm I do have an STI engine in mine, as Ive had it apart

EJ20GDW5HE engine code doesnt equal 'STI' on my reference. Personally, I wouldnt ever get into an argument based on the information in the links posted here. The C&K site particularly, is full of mistakes.
